For some, setting the table is an intimidating task, but for Victoria Fanning, owner of Arte Italica and Crown Linen Designs, laying a beautiful tabletop is like second nature. Using her brands’ expansive product ranges, the art of layering luxurious textiles from Crown Linen Designs with ornately patterned Arte Italica china reflects a creativity that has flourished in different ways throughout life. “Since I can remember, my friends used to ask me to help them decorate their homes,” she says. The gifted designer has been devoted to beatifying environs for years, but her venture into entrepreneurship did not begin until later in life, when an opportunity perfectly suited to her talents presented itself.
